Will I be the only one??? Hope not!!!!!

[paulista1950]

I'm planning to rent a tux for my cruise (Alaska, 9/17, one week, Vancouver/Vancouver). It will be my first: HAL, Alaska, and tux!

I never wore a tux before, so I'm afraid being the ONLY ONE wearing it! :eek:

Should I worry? What are the odds?

No worries, I am sure there will be at least one other tux there;) if nothing else you will be a stand out:D seriously, on HAL there are usually around 30% or more tuxes, depending on the cruise and the clientele based on my experience.

 

every cruise is different and every ship different but I am certain you will not be alone:)

I doubt you'll be the only one. It sounds like you're excited at this new "adventure" - have fun with it! You'll look great and probably get more than a few admiring looks! :)

My husband always brings his tux and/or dinner jacket (white). I think he looks very handsome and there are many other gentlemen who are similarly attired. Go for it!

Have no fear! You will not be alone in your tux in the MDR on Formal Nights. Depending on the cruise destination I have seen tux percentages as high as 40% and never lower than 25% over many years of cruising. Estimates, of course.

 

Have a good time!

No fear!! You will not be alone, hubby will be wearing his also both nights. One night he will have his black jacket the other his white:)

We were aboard the Maasdam for 2 weeks in May, having all our dinners in the Rotterdam Dining Room with the exception of a couple of great meals in the Canaletto.

We may have seen a couple of tuxedos during those 14 days.

Alaska is not as "dressy" as most of the other cruises I have been on but we saw a few Tux's. My DH wore a black suit.

 

Wear your Tux and you will look great!! :)

DH was ever so handsome in his tux; DBIL wore a dark navy suit; but just today picked up his new tux for our Baltic Adventure this September aboard the Rotterdam. Nothing can make a fella look finer than a tux ( in my humble opinion )

My DH brings his tux every cruise.

I saw nowhere near 25% tuxes on our June 2008 Alaska cruise. There were very few men dressed in tuxes on our cruise. However, I agree, that if this is something that you are really looking forward to, then go for it. You will have a wonderful time!!

Men are just the opposite of women. We want to look like everyone else. DW dreads seeing another woman wearing the same outfit as she is wearing.

 

My theory is since I paid for the darn thing, I might as well bring it along and wear it in once in a while. We usually have a least jacket and tie for Pinnacle Grill nights as well.

 

Since we left the work world, there are precious few other occasions when black tie is suggested any more. I have to wear it onboard ship just to get my money's worth out of it.
